Micron Rumoured to be Eyeing Austin Texas for New Fab
Micron announced last year that it’s looking to invest some US$150 million in expanding and improving upon its current fabs, plus potentially building additional ones. In addition to Texas, California and Arizona are apparently still in the running, although it’s unclear when Micron will make a final decision. The fab will obviously be producing either DRAM or flash memory, but it’s not clear what markets Micron is looking to expand its production in, but DRAM seems more likely based on current market conditions. The company is said to be looking for a location that has not only the suitable staff required, but is also looking for the right cost and reliability when it comes to utilities, as well as regulatory friendliness.
